Serums are your skin’s quiet powerhouses—lightweight, fast-absorbing formulas designed to deliver potent, high-impact results. Unlike moisturizers, which focus on hydration and barrier support, serums are crafted with a higher concentration of active ingredients and smaller molecules, allowing them to penetrate deeper and address specific skin concerns more effectively.
Whether you’re targeting fine lines, dullness, dehydration or breakouts, serums are a vital step in a results-driven routine. They work in synergy with moisturizers and oils, layering seamlessly to enhance your skin’s resilience and radiance. Because of their efficacy and versatility, serums can and should be used daily—morning, evening, or both—depending on the formula and your skin’s needs.
At African Botanics, our collection of facial serums and our targeted Eye Contour Gel-Serum are designed to treat and transform. Each formula blends science-backed actives with potent South African plant extracts, created without unnecessary binders or fillers to maximize potency and results.

How to Layer Serums in Your Routine
Apply serums after cleansing and misting, and before heavier moisturizers or facial oils. During the day, opt for antioxidant-rich and hydrating serums like Nutritive Molecule Serum. At night, reach for restorative treatments like Resurrection Cell Recovery Serum or Silver Rescue Serum, depending on your skin’s needs. Use your ring finger to gently tap the Eye Contour Gel-Serum around the orbital bone morning and night.
